Lukas knew something was wrong when his little brother was born. He supposed Emil, his blood brother, also knew something was wrong. It was very strange to them, unearthly, probably unhealthy too. Though their mother treated him just like any mother would, even after the boy's father left. Lukas had expected the busy man to leave eventually. He'd never liked him, and his feelings were returned. The man knew something was wrong as well, which is probably a reason why he'd left.

Matthias was their new brother's name, named after their grandfather. He was born when Lukas was 15, and when Emil was 5. He was a needy child who cried often and needed help a lot more than Emil had needed when he was a child. Their mother had said that Matthias was special and that he needed a lot of help.

Lukas didn't understand his mother, why she didn't pay attention to him and Emil as much anymore. It annoyed him and so did this boy; his brother. That's why as soon as he was old enough he moved away, taking Emil with him for his mother's sake. He wouldn't have left his little brother behind only to be ignored anyways.

Lukas decided that Emil would be the main focus on his life and he would treat him as if he were his own kid. Other than that his focuses were school related and his part time job. He worked very hard all of the time, and it did pay off. He'd gotten a rather excellent job as a journalist and looked at himself as a very well respected individual.

One thing though Lukas did not expect was for his mother to suddenly die.

Emil had been devastated, he cried and bawled for days on end but what upset Lukas the most was the boy. His younger brother now stood before him with wide naïve eye, the same blue of his mothers. Apparently Lukas and Emil were now his caretakers so he'd been dumped at the house earlier in the day. Only Emil had been home, and bless his heart he didn't know what to do so he just left Matthias out in the yard until Lukas had returned.

Lukas, was furious to say the least. He had never wanted to see this child ever again. His wild hair and face reminded him to much of the man who'd hurt his unforgivable mother's heart. The hatred was deep and unpleasant, and anyone could obviously tell he was pissed just by looking at him. This boy though didn't seem to notice.

To Lukas' surprise he simply stood there like a doll, waiting to be spoken to, and begrudgingly Lukas allowed him to go inside of the house. The small boy was… disturbing to Lukas. It only angered Lukas and Emil just avoided entering the room as the boy placed himself on the couch. Lukas gave the boy a pointed look, in which the child scooted off onto the floor. He stood and stared at the sitting child before opening his mouth to speak, but was interrupted.

"Who you?" The small boy asked rather loudly. Lukas looked at him surprised, had his mother never spoken of him? Him or Emil?

"I'm Lukas-"

"Oh! Y-you're my brother!" He interrupted again, this was making Lukas angrier.

"Look," Lukas said snippily, making the little boys smiled disappear slowly, "I am your half-brother. It is the same with Emil who is in the other room. I don't want to hear you say that I am your brother. You will refer to me as Lukas and only that. Same goes for my brother Emil," Lukas growled. The little boy blinked at him before nodding with the little understanding he'd grasped, "Now how old are you?"

In response the little boy held up his hand, showing all five of his fingers. Lukas sighed and his body tensed, he wouldn't lose his composure right now, even if this insufferable child was in his presents. Lukas combed his fingers through his hair to get it out of his face. He looked at the child again and then to the boys two bags of luggage.

"You'll be sleeping in my office for now. Follow me." Lukas waved his hand at the boy. Instantly the boy jumped to his feet and pulled the two bags over to the staircase Lukas had begun to walk up.

Lukas watched as the child struggled to get his suitcases up the stairs. Around the time he was at the ninth step Lukas had become impatient. Normally he was known for his patience but he was in a situation where he absolutely wanted to hurry and get this child out of his sight. When he reached down to grab the luggage from the boy, they were quickly pulled away from him.

"I go-got this," the boy said quickly as he hesitantly looked up at Lukas with a frown. Lukas narrowed his eyes, crossing his arms unhappily, "I-I-I-I-I-I-eye," the boy looked away as he tried to speak but eventually shut his mouth and continued trying to go up the stairs. He bit his bottom lip while he struggled, "I got thi-s." he repeated.

When they finally reached the top of the stair Lukas lead the boy to the office. He was happy he still had yet to set his laptop back up in the room; he could do his work in his room. Lukas walked over to a futon and unfolded it into a bed. He looked back at Matthias who was looking around the room curiously. Lukas cleared his throat and pointed to the now bed, Matthias blinked but quickly walked over to the bed in understanding. The 5 year old pushed his suitcases under the bed as to keep the floor looking clean.

"Do not touch anything in this room at all." Lukas stated immediately. The boy looked around one last time before slowly nodding. Quickly Lukas turned around and headed for the door.

"W-wa-it!" The boy said quickly. Lukas turned to stare at him while he struggled to form words, his speech failing him. Slowly Matthias became silent and looked down, "neba mine…" he said silently.

"Emil will bring you your dinner. Stay up here until I can figure things out," Lukas said before closing the door. It wasn't as gentle as he had hoped for; he'd slammed the door closed.

"Why is he here?" Emil asked quietly as they ate. Lukas looked over at him, and sighed.

"Because apparently our dear mother thought it would be funny to send her troubles to us." He was quick to answer his younger brother, "what was he doing when you were up there?"

"He wasn't doing anything, just listening to music on a tablet of some sort…" Emil said with a sigh, "It'd be nice to have a tablet…"

"You have a laptop and an ipod Emil."

"I know…" he sighed again then slowly began to eat his food. Lukas heard a creak and looked up to see Matthias. He narrowed his eyes about to say something crude before the boy quickly went over to a sink with a fold up stool; Lukas supposed it had fit in his suitcase.

He watched as the boy unfolded it and stood on it. Soon the boy reached for the faucet and began to clean the dish. He placed it in the dish drainer and scrubbed his hands and upper arm furiously. He gulped and looked over at Lukas before folding his stool back up and walking back up the stairs silently. Lukas sighed and turned away from the doorway to look at Emil who stared back at him.

He shook his head before continuing to eat his food silently. Emil also continued after a short time of thought. Honestly Lukas did not what so ever understand this child. He wasn't like Emil who, as a child, was very respectful and could speak properly. Emil had been a wonderful child, so cute and happy over the simplest things; well he never admitted to liking something though. It was all part of his personality, the one Lukas found so dear to him. Like when he said 'big brother' on rare occasions when he really wanted something.

Emil suddenly looked up quickly when he'd finished. He placed his dishes in the sink and walked into the living room, only to return with a large box. It looked rather heavy but it apparently wasn't. He placed the box on the table beside his brother, who looked at him and raised his eyebrow. Emil shrugged and went over to his seat once more before opening his mouth to speak.

"It's from mom," he said quickly and sighed, obviously not really wanting to talk about the woman. He clenched his fists and took a moment to breath, "The guy who dropped him off gave it to me. I guess… mom knew she was… dying…" Lukas slowly looked over at the box before giving in to his curiosity and opening it.

Inside of the box was freshly packed parcel full of medication for Matthias. He placed it on the table before taking out a large envelope addressed to him, and another addressed to Emil. He handed it to Emil, who took it gratefully. Lukas sighed, opening his slowly. It was a large group of papers, typed and well taken care of. The first one was obviously old, and as he flipped to the last paper it looked more recent. Slowly Lukas began to read…

Dear Son of Mine, Lukas rolled his eyes and shook his head.

You're probably rolling your eyes right now at this lengthy letter I've taken great time to type out to you. Most of it, as you've probably guessed is instructions about your little brother… well Matthias, but right now it isn't about him! This right now is about you! Don't forget that I still care for you very much…

Lukas, I was very sad to see you leave me with Emil. For a while, I'll admit, I was angry at you. I was angry because you hadn't taken any time at all to even try to understand, but now I see it was me. I was the one who hadn't taken the time to understand… I am sorry for that. You left when you were 18, so now you should be around 20? You've been gone for what seems like so long…

While you were gone I became very ill. It was difficult for me to hear that I had been diagnosed with Bronchial Cancer… I know I'm going to die while you're around 20… Emil is 10 right now I bet. You know how you're body knows things, well I just knew I was going to die around now… I am sorry for leaving so suddenly, I'm sorry for not being there, and I'm especially sorry that I couldn't save your father. I apologize for everything, probably in a futile hope for yours and Emil's forgiveness.

You probably hate me for sending Matthias to you but take it as a complement… I couldn't have thought of anyone better. No one is as dedicated to things as you are Lukas and I know that you may hate him right now, but please try to love him. Try to love him for me… He is probably very scared right now and doesn't understand a thing…

As you should know Matthias is autistic, please I beg of you to treat him right… I know you can, that's why I chose you to do it. If you don't its ok, because I understand why you wouldn't, but at least let him stay in your home and not be put in foster care… He is very special and needs your help…

I don't know how to put this in a way that will help you understand, probably because I cannot…

Lukas read silently, soon hearing Emil let out a silent sob. He slowly looked over at his brother, placing the letter/manual on the table. Lukas stood up and hugged his younger brother, rubbing his back slowly. Emil put the letter on the table and wrapped his arms around Lukas, hugging so tightly Lukas believed he would start crying as well.

"What did it say?" Lukas asked quietly.

"She said that… that it was her fault and I wasn't at fault for anything. That me and you were right! I should be happy! I'm not happy! She was wrong and she admitted it and I'm not happy about it! Lukas she knew she was going to die and she didn't tell us because she was scared we'd hate her more!" Emil cried. Lukas took a deep breath and petted his brother's hair gently. "She… she gave me her bracelet…" he said after calming slightly. Emil pulled away… "What did she give you?"

"I haven't looked yet…" Lukas said, staring at the envelope before shaking it out. There was a small clanking sound and he stared down at what had fallen out.

On the table was a hairclip, a cross hairclip to be more precise. It was something his mother wore at all times, other than sleep and bathing. She constantly made a point to somehow include it in her daily outfits. Lukas felt himself swallow hard and gripped the metal cross tightly, but not enough to warp it. It was now Emil's turn to comfort him. He hadn't shed one tear over his mother, but seeing something he was fond of be placed somewhere it didn't belong… it made him soft.

Lukas quickly shook his head and loosened his grip on the cross. He took a deep breath before hugging Emil tightly. He sighed and tried in vain to stop his tears, taking deep breaths. Bless Emil's heart, he'd began to cry too. Lukas didn't know how he would cope with knowing his mother had died. She had died and she didn't even have the decency to tell them until afterwards. Putting them through this sudden experience…

"Hurry up," Lukas growled as he stood outside of his office. He needed to drop Matthias off at his special school, and drop Emil off too. It had only been two days and still this child's presents just made Lukas touchy.

Lukas did admit that the child wasn't too much of a hassle, always staying quiet. He only came out of the room to ask a question, or to clean his dishes. He'd be proud of his mother for her hard work, but he didn't respect her enough for that. Gingerly he caressed the hairclip which now held his hair back. He sighed in relief when the door opened. Before him stood a very silent and not dressed appropriately little boy. Lukas clenched his fists before kneeling down in front of Matthias and fixing his simple school uniform. The little boy smiled wide…

"Thank you Lukiss." He said simply, not a single stutter in his voice.

Lukas rolled his eyes before noticing the boys skin was red in places. He quirked and eyebrow and took the kids arm, rolling up the sleeve to inspect whatever this was. The skin looked like it was a rash, but it hadn't been there a few moments before. Lukas sighed and glared at the little boy unhappily, he swore that if he had to take this child to the hospital, next time it wouldn't be for a simple rash.

"I had a bath," the kid explained quickly, getting nervous, "I-I-I-eye had tah get aw deh germs off! So I scwubbed a lot. Momma he-helps m-m-m-me get th-em off…but sh-she c-can't no more so I-I do it myself…"

Lukas blinked in surprise at the boy before opening his mouth. He closed it quickly when the boy pulled his arm back and rolled the sleeve down. Matthias looked away, before an alarm blared from his satchel bag. The child took the tablet out of his bag, it was black with a red cover meant for protection purposes.

"I-I need tah take my medicine," Matthias said quickly, looking at Lukas expectantly. Lukas sighed and motioned for the boy to follow.

Downstairs Emil was sitting quietly at the table, and Lukas looked at him apologetically. He got a glass of water and opened the three pill bottles, handing the small pellet like things to Matthias. One was called Concerta used for ADHD. The second one was called Serotonin, used for anxiety. Finally the third which was called Inderol, which is used to treat headaches and increase the effectiveness of the Concerta. Lukas didn't really care about what they meant, but the day before he'd taken time to sit and read the manual his mother had written.

"Doesn't he need to eat with medicine?" Emil asked suddenly, pulling Lukas from his thoughts.

"I dun h-ave to e-eat," Matthias quickly answered, "I-I can e-eat at m-y shool." Emil simply silenced and turned back to his own food, deciding to ignore the five year old; yet he was happy with the answer he'd been given.

Lukas narrowed his eyes at Matthias, now finding his voice annoying. He quickly shook his head back and forth, leading both boys into his car. He made sure that they were both buckled up before pulling out of the driveway and made his way into town…

Lukas gripped his steering wheel tightly as he waited outside of the small school building. He'd texted Emil and told him sense Matthias' school was closer he'd pick him up first today. Of course he wasn't happy about this, and he would probably never do this again but he needed to get home quickly today due to a meeting.

When the forsaken child finally came out of the building he looked around a little before smiling widely and getting into the back seat of the car. Lukas was greeted by loud and wild babbling of the child. It only made his headache even worse and he began to see red as he drove.

"And and de-n me and Mrs. Vander made macaroni pictures! I-I made one foe y-"

"OH GOD SHUT UP!" Lukas growled loudly. Instantly the noises ceased to exist, he angrily glanced in the mirror to see the boy biting his lip. He opened his mouth, and closed it again, deciding he wouldn't anger Lukas anymore. Then it was silent.

When they had arrived home Matthias quickly went inside without a word. Lukas heard his office door close and smiled as he sat on his bed to begin the meeting. It wasn't long before the meeting ended, and as he worked on his knew article he heard a thump in the other room. Lukas furrowed his brow and blinked as he heard an alarm sound. The thumping didn't stop though, and neither did the alarm.

Lukas growled a bit and stood up from his bed. He opened the door, heading straight to his office door. His expression softened when he saw Emil there, the boy looking very confused. Lukas motioned for his younger brother to go elsewhere. He would take care of this disturbing sound, he wouldn't let Emil have to handle this.

When Lukas opened the door Matthias was over leaning on the wall, banging his head on it. He was very tense and this confused Lukas, just making him angrier. He stomped over to the boy and grabbed his wrist and pulled him up, but that's when the boy suddenly started screaming at the top of his lungs. Lukas was startled by the child's sudden outburst of noise and instantly let him go. Quickly he left the room, the child still screaming, and grabbed his mother's manual. He skimmed through the papers until he found it…

Lukas, Matthias suffers from a severe anxiety disorder. Because of his autism he cannot really learn to control himself or handle it. You know when he is in an anxiety attack when he is silent, then begins hurting himself. Do not touch him right away or he will begin to scream or attack you. Approach him slowly and let him know everything will be ok. It normally happens an hour after 3:00pm when his medicine wears off, on days that he has been upset by something. If you accidentally didn't follow these instructions, ask him a conundrum…

Lukas put the papers back down and thought very hard, blocking the screaming out of his mind. When he finally had the right question to ask Matthias he quickly stood up and left his room. He slowly walked into the office and sat on the floor beside the screaming boy. Lukas took a deep breath and sighed, cracking his knuckles.

"If you try to fail, but succeed, then what have you done?"

Matthias' screams quieted down and he looked at Lukas slowly, gulping and trembling. Lukas watched as the boy sat up and his face was mixed with deep concentration. He sat there for a long time simply watching Matthias come down from his high. The child took deep breaths and rubbed his sweaty palms on his tiny uniform.

"D-en y-you hab succeeded at f-failing," Matthias squeaked quietly. Lukas sighed and crossed his arms. He shouldn't be mad at the child, he was family after all, "I-I um sorry…" he said quietly, his bottom lip.

"For what?"

"Sc-sceaming," he answered quietly, "and for taw-king in da car…"

"No it's ok," Lukas said, sighing loudly and shaking his head, "I should not have yelled… Just don't go screaming again ok?" Matthias nodded quickly, then stood up.

"I-I made you and Em-Iiiil a picture toeday… I-I awso made mommy one to-o! Wh-en I see her I-I wi-ll gi-ve it t-oe her."

"Really? Why would you make something for me and Emil?"

"W-ell mommy sai-d I sho-ld be ni-nice to y-yo! S-she said tha when she-e dies I-I'llww be li-ving here and tha I need to no-t make y-oe mad…" Matthias said, nodding quietly to himself, "S-so mommy r-reawy like ed my pictures… a-and I thought I-It would ma-ke yoe happy t-too…"

"Hm…" Lukas said nodding quietly, "What else did she tell you?"

"Sh-e s-aid I needed toe l-listen toe you, b-because you d-don't l-like pe-ople who don't lis-ten," He said nodding in complete understanding of what his mother had said, "A-and thah yo-u don't li-like wen pe-people canno-t tawk right…" he looked down nervously, "I-I'm sworry…"

"It's ok…" Lukas sighed and stared as the boy stood up and went into the connected bathroom. He watched the boy step onto the stool that hadn't been moved sense yesterday. He turned the sink on and washed his hands, probably of the sweat that had been on them.

Matthias took a generous amount of time to clean his hands, making sure to get between his fingers and under his nails. Lukas remembered reading somewhere that he wouldn't eat food if he'd seen someone touch it directly. The child was very clean, sometimes to a harmful extent; for example, the scrubbing himself raw. Lukas looked around and saw that his office was in perfect condition. He hummed lightly and spotted the child's alarming tablet.

Lukas stood and walked over to the device and read the alarm to himself. It said, 'time to take deep breaths!', so Lukas supposed it was a reminder to keep calm while his medicine wore off. Lukas skimmed through the things on Matthias' tablet. Most of it was simply learning books and speech practice.

Lukas didn't know what to think of all of the things that displayed themselves on Matthias' reminder list. It looked as if the child really relied on the device for memory, or to just keep calm. Lukas looked at Matthias when he came out of the bathroom, looking nervous. Lukas stared at him before being handed a wipe. Lukas blinked…

"We was on floor… yoe hands awe dirty too right? N-now my… my tab-late is t-too…" Lukas nodded and took the wipe, washing the tablet and his hands in the process. He then handed the device to Matthias. The small boy willingly took it and placed it gently on his bed, "Tank you…"

Matthias hummed and opened up his satchel bag, pulling out two pieces of construction paper. There was a huge smile on his face as he handed the pictures to Lukas, who took them hesitantly. Lukas scanned over the childish pictures before sighing. They weren't bad at all, so he couldn't make the kid sad…

"Y-you dun hab to h-hang thum up or anyfing…" the boy said quietly. Lukas looked at him and took a deep breath before kneeling down on one knee and bringing the boy into an embrace.

He was tense and unhappy about the boy, but he was still his brother. Matthias was his and Emil's brother. Not only that but this child needed his help with simply everyday things. He was special, not just special but truly special. Lukas smiled when he hugged him back, bringing the boy closer to him. Yes, right now he was letting himself be friendly, and yes he ws still angry about Matthias being there; but he really shouldn't be mad… It isn't like he could just leave him alone for the rest of his life. He was bound to eventually accept his younger half-brother, why not start now?

"I will hang them up… Now, I'm sorry how I've been treating you… You don't deserve that. I know you usually slept with our mother, so if you must you can sleep with me or Emil from now on. It is up to you, I need my office back eventually anyways…" Matthias' face lit up in a huge smile, "You can eat with us too… but as you should know we like silence…"

"So I-I can note talk when we eat?" Lukas nodded and Matthias did too. He smiled at the little boy before gently picking him up and snuggling him. Matthias and laid his head on his chest, "Can I help cook?" Lukas nodded, before leaving the room with him.

Lukas watched as Matthias ate quietly at the table, then turned his attention to Emil who was doing the same. Emil was silent for a reason that was different than Matthias', Lukas knew that. Emil was being silent, not because he hated Matthias, but because he didn't know what to talk about. Emil brought his eyes up to Lukas, they were questioning him. Lukas simply gave a small smile in return.

"Emil, did you see the picture Matthias made you at his school today?" Lukas questioned. Emil blinked and looked up again when he was handed a piece of paper. He took the picture and stared at it closely, before staring at and expectant looking Matthias.

"Oh," Emil said quietly, gulping and turning his attention back on the picture, "It's nice I guess…"

"Would it be ok to hang it on the fridge with your pictures, or should we put Matthias' pictures somewhere else?" Emil was quiet for a long time, biting his lips nervously…

"I uhm… I think w-we should keep his pictures safe until we can find a good place for… for them…" Emil said hesitantly. He obviously didn't want the boy to get upset, but at the same time was being his usual spoiled self. Lukas understood though, he supposed Emil would need time; just like Lukas needed time.

"That's fine," he turned his attention to Matthias, who was oblivious to Emil's real thoughts, "Matthias… We will keep your pictures in a special folder for now ok? Just until we find a good place for them…" Matthias nodded and smiled widely.

"O-Ok," he said before taking a rather large bite of his food.

Silence returned to the table and Lukas sighed to himself, slowly eating his own food. He told himself that everything was going to be ok, that he could take care of another child. It isn't like was in the pits financially, quite the contrary. He'd been given a raise not too long ago and he was sure to get a promotion sometime within the next two years. He'd be able to convert his office into a room for Matthias, it was originally meant to be one anyways. He could make his room his office.

As the plans rolled out in his mind he watched Matthias get up from the table and put his dishes in the sink. The child grabbed a chair and cleaned his dirtied utensils himself. Lukas made a not that he needed to get stools for around the house, because it was obvious Matthias liked being able to have some independence. Soon Emil stood up too and waited beside Matthias patiently, so that he could also clean his own dishes. Emil usually didn't do chores, but Lukas supposed he was trying to make sure he didn't forget him over Matthias.

Lukas smiled, caressing the soft metal of the clip on his head. He didn't want to do anything for his mother, but he did always enjoy proving her wrong. He would prove to her that he could love both Emil and Matthias equally, and be the BEST big brother in the entire world; while having a job and bills to pay. He'd show her, he would show her that he could be something she never was…
